Company registration in Jordan

A Jordanian LLC is registered at the Companies Control Department's Investment Window by filing the application, articles and a bank letter showing half of each partner's contribution, with signatures made before a CCD officer, notary or licensed lawyer. Foreign founders trip on the security step: partners of restricted nationalities need a Ministry of Interior non-objection, which stretches a forty-minute registration to two working weeks.
